Migration between office 365 tenants
Why did you contact Cloudiway to perform a migration between office 365 tenants?
“Our recent split from our parent company necessitated a significant overhaul of our digital tenant spaces. The intricacies of such a transition cannot be understated, with the migration and provisioning of rooms & equipment, shared mailboxes, and the pivotal requirement of maintaining permissions across the board. Moreover, the urgency to eliminate excessive processes like separate downloading and uploading to an on-premises exchange server called for a robust, all-in-one solution. In this context, the Cloudiway tool emerged as an indispensable asset.”

The Benefits
- The Cloudiway solution is all cloud based, which means it does not require any installation, configuration, or maintenance of any software or hardware on the premises. It also eliminates the need for separate downloading and uploading to an on-premises exchange server, which can be time-consuming and costly.
- The Cloudiway solution provides a seamless migration of all users, data, and permissions from one Office 365 tenant to another (migration between Office 365 tenants), with minimal disruption and impact on the end users and the business operations. Users can continue to access their email, calendar, contacts, and files during and after the migration, without any loss of data or functionality. The Cloudiway solution also preserves the permissions on rooms and shared mailboxes, ensuring that users can book and use them as before.
- The Cloudiway solution is one single software that can handle the migration and provisioning of all types of mailboxes, including user mailboxes, shared mailboxes, rooms, and equipment. It also integrates with Microsoft’s Dirsync / ADFS, which synchronizes the user identities and attributes between the source and the target tenants. This simplifies the migration process and reduces the risk of errors or inconsistencies.
- The Cloudiway solution is easy to use and flexible. It has a user-friendly web interface that allows the administrator to monitor and control the migration process, and to perform actions such as scheduling, filtering, mapping, and reporting. It also supports delta migrations, which means it can migrate only the changes that occurred since the last migration, saving time and bandwidth. The Cloudiway solution can also be customized to meet the specific needs and requirements of each project.
